ABSTRACT:
A combination security shutter and awning assembly adapted to be secured to a wall of a building such as a store front or the like having one or more wall openings therein such as doors, display windows, and the like. The assembly includes upper and lower sash portions which are positionable to an opened awning position wherein the sash portions are disposed above the wall openings and function as an awning which is pleasing to the eye and which provides an unobstructed passage or view of the various wall openings. The sash portions of the assembly are also selectively positionable to a closed security shutter position whereby access to the wall openings is prevented by relatively burglar-resistant panels. The assembly includes a frame rigidly secured to the wall about the wall openings and is adapted to carry the upper and lower sash portions each of which mounts at least one protective panel. The upper sash portion is hingeably connected to the lower sash portions and the sides of the lower sash portion are provided with rollers adapted to operatively engage tracks at the sides of the frame. A selectively operable winch is provided including at least one cable having one end wrapped about the winch drum and the opposite end coupled to the lower sash portions such that the selective operation of the winch will cause the cable to be wound and unwound from the drum to selectively raise and lower the rollers within the tracks thereby selectively positioning the sash apparatus between the raised awning position and the closed shutter position. The protective panel may be provided with decorative designs or patterns, if desired, and locking apparatus may be provided for securing the assembly in the closed security shutter position during non-business hours and the like.
